I get a code P0401. The Air Flow system has been cleaned from the air filter to the indake manifold. Replaced the EGR Valve and solenoid. Reset the computer and in about 30 miles the Check Engine Light comes back on. I am at my wits end.

Thanks

The most common cause of that code is a bad DPFE (Differential Pressure Feedback EGR) sensor sometimes called a pressure transducer.

Please advise how you, as you say, "reset the computer " in your 98 marquee. Thanks so much, tommyg524 aattyyaahhooddottccommm.
